Abigail is asking for a drink every 20 minutes or so and has been for the past week.Has anyone experience of the same with a small child?

Let her drink plently, but make sure she cuts back a little on the sweets and sugars. Don't give her any fizzy drinks as they are almost pure sugar.

Also, is she tired or unusually sweaty?

perhaps get in touch with nhs24 if concerned.
you do not say if she has any other symptoms.

My grandson is permanantly thirsty...............we tried giving just plain water and still he drinks a lot.

He has had his urine tested for sugar, but everything is fine.................he's just a thirsty little boy.

Worth asking the doctor though, in case there's a problem.

Hi TW, she has very few sweets and drinks water like me. She has been tired,

Hi Ethel, shes been a lot less lively but has had late nights!

Ok Muffs, Ive made an appt for Mon, will ask for both. What could bloods show TW?

Hi Carole, My grandson was like this when he was 8 yrs old no other symptoms just constantly thirsty, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Hope this is not what is wrong , but to be sure you must have her tested as soon as possible
((((((((((hugs)))))))))) and positive thoughts that she is okay

It will also check her sugar levels, and her kidney function. A blood test is more certain than a urine test for glocose.

Blood tests will eliminate any serious conditions to save any worries., as urine tests can be misleading.Doctors will never say you're being too fussy so don't worry

Thanks Jackie, that has been worrying me.What symptoms did he have apart from thirst?

Will I have to push for bloods TW?

Thanks Lindsey, docs can make you feel you are pushing, cant they?

You shouldn't have to, you should only need to ask. Your doc might just take the urine test first and take it from there.

oK, tw THANKS ALL,
